But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk...

Years ago I was part of a "worship team," just a small group of singers invited by a " worship leader" to sing hymns, praise and worship songs to give the rest of the congregation voices to follow to sing along with. I've always thought that singing was a way to engage the heart in worship, but...

I've read through the book of Isaiah many times, some before I was "saved" and many times since. I've always loved the book as it says so much about our savior and even of the gospel in ways that are readily and plainly understood. This morning while continuing my progressive reading through...

The law was given through Moses to Israel, but the Apostle tells us that even those outside the covenants have a law within them that approves or condemns them. The covenants and the law as we understand them apply to man, but what law applies to the angelic host? Angels are required to do God's...

A most significant rule (of God) that we haven't considered in depth in the "God's rules" post is the actual goal of the ministry of the prophet: reconciliation to God. All prophecy has as its ultimate goal, not simply the revelation of God, but the reconciliation of mankind to the Lord Himself...

Its opportune that I'm currently reading the books of the Law and in Deuteronomy at this time, so that some things are still fresh in my mind on this topic, and the Lord has been only too willing to show me what I've seen before and more for the sake of the edification of His church. Whether you...

This morning the Pastor at the church that I currently attend was teaching from Ephesians chapter 4 and specifically on the nature of spiritual gifts and their use in the church. Before he could make his plea for unity in the church and a spirit of volunteerism in the use of our gifts, he had to...

A week or so ago, an assistant Pastor delivered the sermon for our Sunday morning service rather than the congregation's principle Pastor. The man has a strong accent and I wasn't following his message all that closely as the accent is a distraction to me, but one part of his message was a bit...

Earlier while scanning news stories on Bing I'd come across a story about a comet being visible for new years eve. I might have seen it tonight (or I might have seen Venus looking extraordinarily bright) and while looking at related stories came up with another interesting headline about a foul...

I just ran across an on line story that we're being visited by a comet which should be visible on New years eve. I'm not really about looking for signs in the sky or signs of the times, but comets were once looked at as signs or omens (possibly because of the first chapter of Genesis) and the...

If you're still one of those people who haven't recognized the times that we're in or even if you have, the news is running a story from Indonesia which is at once both bizarre and frightening. I haven't seen an explanation in terms of this being a "natural" event or a man made one, but these...

I want to praise the Lord for my most recent experiences with a growing congregation. For the last 2 weeks I've attended a worship service at the only church that I was ever a member of (by my own choice). I'd stopped fellowshipping with that congregation over 10 years ago (for reasons not worth...

This morning, while driving to work, I heard an announcement on a news radio channel that a man named Evan McMullin stepped down from his position in the republican party in order to run for President as an independent. He apparently has some support that might've gone to Donald Trump and his...

Would you like to know where your money was going for the last few years, world vision supporters? Take a look at the link or search related stories, but I heard about this one on radio news yesterday and see almost no on-line stories about it...

This might more appropriately have been posted in a current events thread, but since I believe that it has more pertinence to "end times" I'm bringing it here. Last fall, a day or two before my birthday, (a day or so after Rosh Hashanah 2015 AD) I was looking over the work that needs to be done...

I've never thought of myself as any kind of activist, though I've participated in my labor union's demonstrations and rallies, but I'd like to know how other professing believers think that we should respond to the world's blasphemies. Yesterday afternoon I decided to go a local theatre to watch...

Many Christians are familiar with the Westminster Shorter Catechism’s definitions and would say that the purpose of man is to glorify God: “Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.” I wouldn’t argue against the proposition that all men will glorify God, but is it...

I've been seeing commercials about a TV broadcast of a new docudrama about Jesus. In the commercial they show a bit of a scene where the actor portraying Jesus is speaking to a crowd about the kingdom of heaven, but the words coming out of his mouth are statements contrary to what the gospels...

If you talk to people about your faith, you've probably heard the question, "Why is there evil in the world?" I believe that most Christians would at least know the simple answer: "God allowed choice in His creation." Some thoughtful and well trained individuals could probably go into much...
